My second loop doesn’t work

    Hi there!

    I created a template for a page (wp static page) with two loops. The first loop will show the last post of the blog. The second loop will show the content of the page.

    The first loop code goes like this;

    <?php query_posts(‘posts_per_page=1’); ?>
    <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
    <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

    <div…

    <?php the_content()
    <?php endwhile; ?>

    –> so far so good, it works! but then I insert the second loop and it doesn’t work. I must be missing anything;

    <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
    <div class=”post” id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>”>
    <h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
    <div class=”entrytext”>
    <?php the_content(‘<p class=”serif”>read »’); ?>

    <?php link_pages(‘Paginas: ‘, ”, ‘number’); ?>

    </div>
    </div>
    <?php endwhile; endif; ?>
    <?php edit_post_link(‘Edit.’, ”, ”); ?>

    –> What I’m doing wrong? I have read I need to re-set the second loop but not sure how to do it?

    Please, help!

    Ok, here is the header; (hope it works);

    https://90plan.ovh.net/~covenmys/header.txt

    By the way, I just realized that the site is not compatible with firefox at all, it seems firefox is not loading wordpress sidebar.

    i quickly scanned that file, and noted that you have two comments in your file, but one is not closed. look for the comment which does not close:

    <!-- Index inicio
    Page template

    you need to close this with:
    -->

    i also noted that on your page i see a stray end of comment line here:

    Archivos
    * Octubre 2005
    -->

    i’m not entirely sure if this will solve your problem, but can you fix that comment by closing it --> and run the code and come back to tell us how it came along?

    Thanks nearlythere, it is very kind of you.

    In the header I commented the second loop because it wasn’t working and I wanted to try the query_posts(‘page_id=3’)tag.

    The second one; * Octubre 2005 comes from the sidebar. I commented this one to stop showing archives in the sidebar.

    I checked them with my php editor and I think the commented lines are ok, all of them appear in grey.

    sorry, ganzua i don’t understand then. you said your “second loop doesn’t work”

    still looks to me like an open HTML comment!

    this is what i see: i see two loops, preceded by two queries:

    first:
    <?php query_posts('posts_per_page=1'); ?>

    second:
    <?php
    query_posts('page_id=3');
    ?>

    and the second one is ‘hidden’ inside an unclosed HTML comment tag. and if i look at the HTML source, the code was still ‘run’ but it isn’t appearing, because it is hidden in HTMl comment.

    <!-- Index inicio
    Page template

    <div class="post" id="post-3">
    <h2>Inicio</h2>
    <div class="entrytext">

    </div>
    </div>

    <!-- Index inicio
    Page template -->

    so after the first:

    <!-- Index inicio
    Page template

    you need to close the comment. and it should look like this:
    <!-- Index inicio
    Page template -->

    i don’t mind where you do it, but you have to close it somewhere. that’s about as clear as i can make it.

    if this isn’t the solution to your problem, sorry i can’t help further!

    Hey nearlythere!

    I’m back. I got it working now! You were right; query_posts(‘page_id=3’) plus the second loop worked. I had it commented because I thought all what I needed was the query_posts(‘page_id=3’) with no loop behind.

    Thank you very much for your help and good luck with your japanese.

    ????????a?????? ?

    *phew* i’m glad that worked out!

    ?—￥???èa??????§???????????????
    not that i can! but i’m trying ??
